I have the exact same guitar! It's been my number 1 for years. I'll never let it go. It's truly like no other guitar.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Awesome

[@JLindebergful]

Steely "Dan Do it Again" vibes on your opener! Love it!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Hahaha Guess you noticed!

[@ericwright3646]

never seen that finish on the Stingray before... that's very nice!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

✌️❤️

[@charlesharper7292]

Very nice. I remember when these came out. They were on every players wish list. A borderline exotic. I've never actually seen one. Thanks for sharing!🤙

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

My pleasure

[@charlesharper7292]

"My heart skipped a beat" I can see why!😍

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Lol

As usual the parent company has put out a top notch guitar. I bought a Silhouette HSH back in 2000 and it was the first guitar that made me want to practice. Since then however the prices have skyrocketed. For me, a working musician the cost is way more than what I can afford. Even the used model prices are high. Among others I have a USA Comanche from 2001. It's my #1 guitar and used it didn't cost anywhere near what these fine instruments cost and still sounds excellent. Musicman is just out of the range that I can afford. Outstanding playing once again!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you.. yes I agree the prices have risen over the years

[@Running555ni_ght]

Hi Jon, wonderful guitar. And as always very nice melodic playing over the backing track. I love when you close your eyes while playing. It seems to me that that is the moment when it all flows. Have a great weekend

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Many thanks! You too!!❤️

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have alwayes coveted the Ernie Ball headstock, the 4/2 system really works well!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Totally agree!

[@sjazzp]

It might look like if a Strat and a Jazzmaster had a child but the sound goes beyond, holy smokes, how good you made it sing! ✌️🤩👍🎸

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you!!

[@tomdameek]

That looks like a wonderful guitar to play Jon and the sound is so balanced. It shows when you play it. You looked like you’d be tempted!!! 😀 Brilliant smooth playing 😃👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Aye..that I am!!!😆

[@TrinityMartin1]

Fantastic demo, well done. WOW. This shot up to the top of my list of guitars I'm looking to buy.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Cool

[@rodgerbell810]

Hi Jonathan, from the moment you picked the first string I could tell the difference that sets Music Man instruments apart from others. The quality and attention to detail embodies the guitar throughout. What a joy to listen to. Great review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you Rodger!

[@dave...8908]

Beautiful fluidity to your playing sir ❤

[@craigchapman6613]

Great demo, your playing style is really enjoyable. I just bought an identical Stingray RS, to go with with my 2016 Stingray with the plain maple neck, which probably has a more open bite through the band mix. The rosewood fretboard is warmer but cuts through a little less. Both sound great through my combination of Wampler Ego compressor + 4 OD pedals, including the chewy J.Rockett Broverdrive pedal, which you also brilliantly demo'd recently. These Stingrays have almost Les Paul warmth, but with that Telecaster click, and are ridiculously great fun to play. Warning - careful with the roasted flamed maple fretboards with black marker dots - the dots disappear on a dark stage !!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol yes I know about the fret dots disappearing especially black one against a roasted maple fretboard! Stingrays are nice though!!

[@craigchapman6613]

They're awesome, although I prefer the timbre of my 2016 version with the plain maple neck

[@mylogify]

Beautiful... Looks nice. Didn't know also Musicman Majesty also has Okoume body, it's so light weight. Thought it was a cheaper kind of wood, but Musicman uses it. I generally like Musicman's guitars.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

It's so good!

[@andychapman3100]

Wonderful playing - and a fantastic review!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you kindly ✌️❤️

[@zuazuamusic]

Would love to see you demo the PRS NF53. Awesome demo with this Music Man Stingray. Thanks 🙌🏼

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you✌️❤️

[@space_andyy]

Recently picked up an Artist Network (basically EBMM's custom shop if I'm not mistaken) EBMM Valentine from Reverb in a Starry Night finish w/ a trem, and I'm legitimately blown away as a guy who has always played Fender & ESP. It's my first EBMM, and let me tell you, if you're on the fence when it comes to EBMM: PULL THE TRIGGER. Even the newer Sterling stuff has come a long way. Anyways, amazing video, Jon!❤

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I’m happy for you!!✌️❤️

[@Daniel-cq8jd]

BFR - Ball Family Reserve are their “top tier” but you know. Parsing. That Valentine is awesome!!

[@carlcampbell6827]

Wow stunning performance Jon! Another ideal instrument for your collection huh?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

I wish!!

[@chicochicoshukor7184]

Good tone

i tried a sterling SR50 and probably the best neck I ever played, interestingly the SR-50 is a 12" radius

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

👌❤️

Very nice guitare 😁👍

Indeed it is!

That thumb can wrap so far, that’s awesome. Lol. Curse my tiny thumb!

Haha, practice makes perfect!

I have now realized that I have more chance of winning big lottery money than ever being able to do that.😂❤. Technical ability is big there Jon.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol!!

[@kungstu22]

EBMM vs PRS. Mostly EBMM. They have so much originality, quality and love for players. Paul is a king, but I just love these guitars.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Me too!!

[@jazzcat1056]

Beautiful playing. Do you know how this compares to the Sabre?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

No idea

[@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz]

Hi, I have a side question, I often really enjoy your "intro" music but I cannot find the references... I tried to shazam this one as I love it but no result so far... Thanks!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

In the description..✌️❤️

[@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz]

@@JonIsJustTooLoud ah ah ok, I had read the description several times, but it was in the ContentID thing, thanks found it!

[@stephenkennedy7347]

Very nice guitar I would like it too. You're white setting needs to be adjusted.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

You are right!And thanks

[@EricLea]

哇 我的夢幻吉他⋯老師這把琴的聲音好剛猛，尤其是neck pickup的位置看起來非常靠後（不知實際上是不是這樣？），只有老師的技術才能夠駕馭它！

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you!💚

[@allenanderson4911]

Locking tuners...located correctly too. Dump the trem...stay in tune?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

No way! The trem is the fun part

[@stopUkrainewar666]

How is that heel before a esp/ltd slip heel ? 😮 2100$

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

yep

[@carpathus]

Nice guitars those but I'm on the fence looking at the headstock. I kinda like it but I really don't like it. Cheers!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

you are a complicated man...hahahah

[@stewarttomkinson3356]

I will never own one. I’m a lefty and all they have a signature models John Petrucci, and Eddie Van Halen not what I’m looking for.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

ah so...
